On Bitcoin / crypto, it is notable that mining is getting harder, with the bulk of Bitcoins already minted. Hence, I would see it as a movable, verifiable, finite store of value as a commodity (more liquid and verifiable than gold). Of how that will fit in as a medium of exchange in the future, would be determined by regulators (as always), which is unregulated, VS a medium of exchange we can be regulated (i.e. Fiat and CBDCs, which have a distributed traceable ledger + ability to print money to stimulate the economy).
